This book was released on 2023-10-12 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unbeknownst to the general public is that many physical and mental disorders correlate to an imbalance between the stimulating neurotransmitter glutamate and the calming neurotransmitter GABA. In this book, I share my glutamate-related tribulations, which plagued me for most of my life, and explain how I finally achieved peace of mind without using dangerous pharmaceuticals. Regretfully, people of all ages are suffering needlessly. Parents have no idea how severely glutamate and GABA imbalances affect their children's lives; OCD is a classic symptom. Still, I can tell you from personal experience that they are miserable and confused because they have no idea why an uneasiness accompanied by terrible thoughts constantly plagues them. Sadly, parents, pediatricians, and school teachers complicate the issue by telling them to think happy thoughts and they'll be fine. No one afflicted with a glutamate and GABA imbalance can wish it away; only following a strict protocol designed around safe, natural supplements, clinically tested and proven to lower glutamate levels and raise GABA levels, will do that. I wish I had known then what I know now; my life would have been so much better! Examples of the many illnesses correlated with a glutamate and GABA imbalance include the following: OCD Superstitions Anxiety Panic Phobias Learning difficulties and poor memory Anger and aggressive behavior Depression Autism Seizures ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) Schizophrenia Bipolar disorder Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease) Multiple sclerosis Alzheimer's disease Dementia

Download or read book Mental Health for the Whole Child: Moving Young Clients from Disease & Disorder to Balance & Wellness written by Scott M. Shannon and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2013-07-22 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading pediatric psychiatrist shows clinicians a holistic, full-spectrum approach to children’s well-being. Every child possesses enormous untapped potential, and yet the number of kids suffering from mental illness today seems to creep ever upward. Depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, oppositional defiant disorder, anger issues—you name it—are increasingly prevalent, leaving clinician’s offices packed with worried parents and caregivers, wondering how they can help their children. In this book, child psychiatrist Scott Shannon offers a refreshing new path for practitioners who are eager for a more optimistic view of children’s mental health, one that emphasizes a child’s inherent resilience and resources over pathology and prescriptions. “What is mental health?” Shannon explores the fundamental question, showing that an innate desire for balance—a wholeness—between brain-body-mind lies at the heart of wellness. Such a balance can’t be achieved by medication alone, but requires a broad, full-spectrum understanding of children’s lives: their diet, social skills, sleep habits, their ability to self-regulate, to find meaning and purpose in life, and their family relationships. Stress, trauma, and poor nutrition are some of the most common barriers to wholeness in kids’ lives, and Shannon carefully examines these and other barriers, and what the latest discoveries in neuroplasticity and epigenetics tell us about their ability to overcome them. Readers will learn how to perform a different sort of assessment—one that identifies patterns of imbalance and obstacles to health in a child’s life—as well as how to build a meaningful, effective treatment plan around these deficits, and how clinicians can best position themselves to respond effectively. The second part of the book looks at eight of the most common childhood mental health issues—ADHD, depression, behavioral problems, anxiety and OCD, bipolar disorder, substance abuse, autism spectrum disorders, and trauma and PTSD—and a variety of effective complementary treatment tools for each, including dietary changes, nutritional supplements, specific cognitive or behavioral therapies, parenting interventions, medications, and more. Step-by-step treatment plans are included to guide clinicians on how best to approach each presenting problem. Mental Health for the Whole Child combines modern science, cutting-edge psychology, integrative medicine, and clinical wisdom to offer all professionals who work with kids a new, more hopeful way forward.

Download or read book Prophets and Protons written by Benjamin E. Zeller and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2010-03-29 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the twentieth century, science had become so important that religious traditions had to respond to it. Emerging religions, still led by a living founder to guide them, responded with a clarity and focus that illuminates other larger, more established religions’ understandings of science. The Hare Krishnas, the Unification Church, and Heaven’s Gate each found distinct ways to incorporate major findings of modern American science, understanding it as central to their wider theological and social agendas. In tracing the development of these new religious movements’ viewpoints on science during each movement’s founding period, we can discern how their views on science were crafted over time. These NRMs shed light on how religious groups—new, old, alternative, or mainstream—could respond to the tremendous growth of power and prestige of science in late twentieth-century America. In this engrossing book, Zeller carefully shows that religious groups had several methods of creatively responding to science, and that the often-assumed conflict-based model of “science vs. religion” must be replaced by a more nuanced understanding of how religions operate in our modern scientific world.
